JAKARTA - Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg continues to ensure excellent conditions ahead of the match against Elon Musk which is still being pursued. The 39-year-old billionaire even showed a moment while training with his Israelis Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski.

A video shows Zuckerberg grappling with UFC stars in a ring deliberately specially created in the middle of a lake. Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt holders are indeed training their wrestling skills.

Zuckerberg brought down Volkanovski and grappled with the Australian star. While the UFC champion twice, his village threw an unknown opponent into the water.

Zuck captioned his training video with the title "Suasana summer." Fans immediately flooded the comments column to praise Zuckerberg's skills in martial arts. "Good. I see you prepare yourself as well as possible. Fight this century!" said one of his supporters.

Another added, "Continue your brilliant work!"

"This is how I would spend my money if I had," said one who watched the video.

The fourth commented: "Come on Mark, sign the contract." Zuckerberg and Musk have been involved in a war of words for several months after the two called for each other's home game. Elon previously said the fight would be broadcast live on Meta and X, previously known as Twitter.

But so far no date and location has been confirmed. Musk claimed to have met with officials in Italy regarding the use of the Roman Colosseum for the fight.

Meanwhile Zuckerberg retaliated by stating that Musk had postponed agreeing to the fight date due to alleged injuries.

Last month, Zuck wrote on his Threads platform, "I think we all agree that Elon is not serious and this is the time to forget about it."

"I'm offering a real date. Dana White offers to make this a legitimate charity competition. Elon doesn't want to confirm the date, then says he needs surgery and is now asking to do training in the backyard. If Elon is serious about the actual official date and event, he knows how to contact me, "said Zuckerberg.

Meta boss is reportedly in talks with UFC boss Dana White about his seriousness in competing in the organization. Meanwhile his former training partner Total Musumeci felt "one hundred percent" believed Zuckerberg could win the UFC fight.

"I was quite surprised. He (Zuckerberg) is a fighter. He has persistence in him," Musumeci told TMZ.

"When I saw him, I said, 'OK, he can be very good at MMA or jiu-jitsu' because first of all, he has the highest IQ, but he's also tough. "100 percent. 100 percent I think he can win," he continued.
